AbstractWhile only a minor phase constituent, the deformation behavior of the hexagonal α2-Ti3Al phase, significantly affects the mechanical properties of two-phase TiAl based alloys. We have used conventional and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy to investigate the fine structure of pyramidal plane glide dislocations, with Burgers vectors of the type b=<2c+a>, in α2-Ti3Al after room temperature compression of binary polysynthetically twinned TiAl normal to the lamellar interfaces to nominal plastic strains of 1%-7%. We report atomic resolution observations of non-co-planar dislocation core configurations for <2c+a>-dislocations and show that translamellar deformation twins active in the majority γ-TiAl phase play an important role in facilitating pyramidal plane slip in α2-Ti3Al in the lamellar two-phase alloys.

Direct Inspection

Dislocations in silicon produced by plastic deformation are generally dissociated into partials. 60° dislocations (Burgers vector type 1/2[101]) are dissociated into 30°(Burgers vector type 1/6[211]) and 90°(Burgers vector type 1/6[112]) dislocations. The 30° partials may be either of “glide” or “shuffle” type. Lattice images of the 30° dislocation have been obtained with a JEM 100B, and with a JEM 200Cx. In the aforementioned experiments a reasonable but imperfect match was obtained with calculated images for the “glide” model. In the present experiment direct structure images of 30° dislocation cores have been obtained with a JEOL 4000EX. It is possible to deduce the 30° dislocation core structure by direct inspection of the images. Dislocations were produced by compression of single crystal Si (sample preparation technique described in Alexander et al.).

One outstanding problem in YBa2Cu3O7−δ superconductors is the weak link behavior of grain boundaries, especially boundaries with a large-angle misorientation. Increasing evidence shows that lattice mismatch at the boundaries contributes to variations in oxygen and cation concentrations at the boundaries, while the strain field surrounding a dislocation core at the boundary suppresses the superconducting order parameter. Thus, understanding the structure of the grain boundary and the grain boundary dislocations (which describe the topology of the boundary) is essential in elucidating the superconducting characteristics of boundaries. Here, we discuss our study of the structure of a Σ5 grain boundary by transmission electron microscopy. The characterization of the structure of the boundary was based on the coincidence site lattice (CSL) model.Fig.l shows two-beam images of the grain boundary near the projection. An array of grain boundary dislocations, with spacings of about 30nm, is clearly visible in Fig. 1(a), but invisible in Fig. 1(b).

AbstractThe coupling of HRTEM with atomistic calculations is described for the study of grain boundaries and dislocations in aluminum. HRTEM images of the Σ9 (221) [110] grain boundary are compared with molecular statics calculations using both the Embedded Atom Method (EAM) and two pair potentials. Comparison between observed and simulated images are shown to serve as a stringent test of the theoretical methods. Atomistic calculations can in turn provide threedimensional information about the defect structure. Using the EAM, it is also possible to account for the effects of thin foil geometries on the minimim energy configuration of defects. While these effects are found to be minimal for grain boundary structures, the influence of the thin-foil geometries on the core structure of the 60° dislocation in aluminum is discussed. These comparisons indicate that the EAM function provides a good description of grain boundary structures, but fails to reproduce the observed dislocation core structure due to a low predicted value of the intrinsic stacking fault energy (SFE) on the (111). In contrast, the pair potentials used in this study provide reasonable SFE values, but appear to be less accurate for the prediction of the Σ9 (221) [110] grain boundary structures.
